Property consultancy Alder King has won two prestigious awards from leading property industry publication Estates Gazette, picking up the inaugural South West Property Adviser of the Year Award, and the South West Most Active Agent award for an unprecedented twelfth year in succession.
The firm, which employs around 150 people across the South West and South Wales, won the South West Regional Adviser Award based on the volume of floor space transacted and the Most Active Agent Award for the number of deals completed in 2012. Once again, it was Alder King’s dominance in the offices and industrial markets, supported by strong performances in the retail and investment sectors, which helped it clinch the Most Active Agent title for another year.
Simon Price, head of agency at Alder King, commented: “We are delighted to have won these two awards and to win the Most Active Agent Award for a twelfth time is an accolade we are extremely proud of.
“There’s no doubt that the market remains competitive but our agency teams are tenacious in their efforts to secure deals on behalf of our clients and it is this, together with great client service, which underpins our market-leading performance.”
Notable office deals achieved by Alder King in 2012 included the lettings of 24,350 sq ft of office space at Hillside Court in Chipping Sodbury to Jelf, 17,000 sq ft at SouthGate Bath, and a 43,723 sq ft industrial letting at Kingsland Trading Estate in Bristol to Jongor Ltd.
